CARRIAGE-SEAT.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 236,008, dated December 28, 1880.

- Application filed October 8, 1880. (ModeL) To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. DURIE, of the city of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in 5 Carriage-Seats, of which the following is a specification.

My. invention relates to movable seats of carriages to permit persons to pass and repass in such vehicles as are closed on the sides; and it consists in the manner ofconstructing'the back and supporting-standards of the seat, and the combination and arrangement of the several parts, all of which will be hereinafter more fully described, and set forth T in the claims. I

Figure 1 represents a top view of a vehicle with my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section on line as m of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view from the rear, showing one seat 29 turned up. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bjaclr of the seats. A is the vehicle,which may be of any constrnction. In this case the side rails are shown hs continuous. This vehicle has a back seat,

-. 2 5- B, which is-perm anent, and a front seat formed in two parts, 0 and D. The part 0 is permanent, its inner'end being supported on a strip, 0, resting 011 standards 0 c, which are seen in Figs. 2 and The back-board of seat 0 is 0 supported by iron standards we in the usual supported by pivoted standards (I and a hingestrap, E, which is permanently secured at one end to the back-board D at 6', but is pivoted place.

on the back-board O of seat 0 at g, thus allowing a vertical movement of the back-board 0 D. The standard 01 is crank-formed at d, where it joins the seat D, and'is sustained in bearings ff fastened to the seat, said standard having a shoulder at f and being riveted or otherwise secured in bearing f The up- 5 per end of standard at is bent at an angle into an arm, 0, and at the end of the arm is pivoted to the back-board D at e. By the arrangement of this crank-standard and the hinge-strap E and the parting-hinges b b the seat D, with its back-board D, can be turned to the position shown in Fig. 3 in solid lines, the broken lines in that figure showing the seat and back in their normal position.

Fig. 4 represents the rear of the back-board 5 5 of seat D, with the crank-standard d and the hinge-strap E connecting the board D to board D, as above described. A catch, h, is placed on seat 0, which enters a notch in the side rail and serves to hold seat D in its I claim- 1. In divided seats for vehicles, one part of which is to be turned up, the crank-standard d, pivoted on the turning seat at one end and to the back at the upper end, substantially as and for the purpose described.

2. The combination of the crank-standard'd, the back-board D of a seat, the hinged supporting-strap E, the back-board O, hinges b b, and seats 0 and D, substantially as and for the purpose described.
